Kettle Corn Seems all I do these days is go to festivals and contemplate corn. Last time, it was corn on the cob at the Moses Austin Festival. I was pictured in the newspaper with wannabe Willie Nelson, eating my corn on the cob.

Though I love farmers markets, I still had not made it to this one until last Saturday.

On Sunday afternoon, I took a walk through downtown Farmington, Missouri. There was practically no automobile traffic, and there was even less pedestrian traffic. Downtown Small Town, Missouri still shuts down on Sundays. As I walked down Main Street, the occassional driver passing by in their truck or car craned their necks to stare… What is that woman [...] I am not a scrap-booker or a paper-crafter.
